Clinical Pharmacy Council : A Huge Fraud

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

Clinical Pharmacy Council (CPC) is formed in 2014 with a motto of transforming traditional pharmacy practice into Advanced patient centered pharmacy practice. It has been seen in every part of social media regarding CPC which framed a fake reputation among pharmacists for self benefits. It has been misguiding the pharmacists of India from the past couple of years by giving permission and certification to practice pharmacy by opening a pharma-clinic. Please note that NO NGO or Society or Private Association has a right to certify you or permit you to practice by opening a clinic. 

European Society of Clinical Pharmacy, United Kingdom of Clinical Pharmacy Association, American Colleges of Clinical Pharmacy, South African Society of Clinical Pharmacy are the International Associations of Clinical Pharmacists formed by the collaborative memorandum with various International Organizations providing advocacy and resources to achieve excellence in practice, research and education with various specializations. Whereas CPC in India is formed by a private association or an individual which was constituted by the Society Registration Act (but not Pharmacy Act). Please note both cannot be the same. It is foolish to be a member of such body after being licensed from the concerned Pharmacy Council.

The Right to Information Act (RTI) activists had approached the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) to give a clarity on CPC, after investigation by PCI; Clinical Pharmacy Council was proved to be a fraud with no right to register/ license/ certify pharmacists. This is just to misguide the pharmacists for personal benefits --- says the Registrar-cum-Secretary Ms. Archana Mudgal. A circular to the Andhra Pradesh State Pharmacy Council and the Drugs Controller was also passed by the PCI to take immediate action on the members of the CPC and ban the concerned website.

Innovation in Health Care Leadership Care Redesign : Creating the Future of Care Delivery

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

A special invitation for valued readers of the New England Journal of Medicine : A webinar 

A New Era of Rapid Change: 

• Team Care. 
• Value Chain. 
• Care & Coverage.

Overview: 

What does the transition “from volume to value” mean for health care and the organizations that deliver it? The redesign of care around value – meeting patients’ needs and doing so as efficiently as possible – has begun in earnest in the U.S. and around the world. In this live meeting and webcast, thought leaders and experienced managers will discuss key strategic and tactical issues for organizations and clinicians seeking to adapt and thrive in the new environment. Speakers will address how to create and sustain the teamwork needed to provide high value care; practical implications of organizing care to enhance health rather than provide sick care; and the evolution of payment systems to reward high value care for chronic disease. This event will provide actionable insights for leaders of provider organizations, clinicians, health care purchasers, and policy-makers.

How can health care leaders harness today's rapid changes to optimize the value of care with better outcomes, at affordable costs, delivered by passionate clinicians? Join the dialogue with nine thought-leaders who will deliver actionable insights in this live web event addressing these pressing topics and more:

* Building interdisciplinary teams to deliver on the promise of coordinated, seamless care??

* How can clinicians organize their care differently to provide both quality and efficiency??

* Addressing social needs to improve outcomes: How some organizations are turning the theoretical into the possible??

* Across the value-chain, how can changes in care delivery (telehealth, population care, and a service mindset) improve

health outcomes??

* Care and coverage: Can bundled payments improve care delivery for chronic disease??

Agenda:

When: September 30, 2015, 1:00 – 5:00 pm, Eastern Time

Where: Live web event from the Center for Total Health, Washington, DC

Register Here

1:00 – 1:05 Tom Lee introduces “Care Redesign: Creating the Future of Care Delivery” 

1:05 – 1:20 Opening Talk: Amy Compton-Phillips, Event Chair

Drawing on experience in care system improvements, Dr. Compton-Phillips will describe key principles for the redesign of care for the new era, ranging from clarity on the goal of the redesign to tactical wisdom – including what it means to “think big and act small.”

Speakers:

Thomas H. Lee, MSc, Chief Medical Officer, Press Ganey; Editorial Board, NEJM

Amy Compton-Phillips, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer, Providence Health & Services

1:20 – 2:15 Topic 1: Team Care for the 21st Century 

The leader of a highly effective network of team care for all Parkinson’s disease patients in the Netherlands will describe what they have done right – and hard-learned mistakes to avoid. But is there a secret sauce that makes teams work effectively? An expert on organizational teams will explore the key ingredients and how to tell if you are on the right or wrong track.

Speakers:

Bastiaan R. Bloem, MD, PhD, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, the Netherlands

Sara Singer, MBA, PhD, Associate Professor of Health Care Management and Policy, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

2:15 – 2:30 Break

2:30 – 3:25 Topic 2: The Health Care Value Chain

What does it mean for health care to produce something other than Relative Value Units? The CEO of a major safety net organization will describe the challenges, practical applications, and rewards of addressing social needs as part of routine care, and a leader from Kaiser Permanente will discuss the organization of care around the production of health.

Speakers:

Anna M Roth, RN, MS, MPH, CEO, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers

Robert Pearl, MD, Executive Director and CEO of The Permanente Medical Group and President and CEO of the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group

Moderator: Tom Lee 

3:25 – 3:40 Break

3:40 – 4:35 Topic 3: Care and Coverage: Changing Payment to Change Chronic Disease Care Delivery

The fee-for-service system is particularly unsuited for high value chronic disease care. What would an ideal payment system look like, and how far off is it? Leading experts on bundled payment describe what this payment model can achieve – and initiatives already underway – across of a range of populations and payers.

Speakers:

Patrick Conway, MD, MSc, Acting Principal Deputy Administrator, Deputy Administrator for Innovation and Quality, and Chief Medical Officer, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Francois de Brantes, MS, MBA, Executive Director, Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute, Inc

Evidence Based Medicine - Pharmacist for Better Clinical Practice

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a process of systematically reviewing, appraising and using clinical research findings to aid the delivery of optimum clinical care to patients. In 1990's the term Evidence Based Medicine was introduced by "David Sackett and Gordon Guyatt". EBM includes the production of evidence through research and scientific review; production of evidence based clinical guidelines; Implementation of evidence-based, cost-effective practice through education and management; Strategical calculation of outcomes through evaluation of compliance. 

The Cochrane Library serves as the most valuable single access point with high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. The various databases of Cochrane library includes: 

1. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews : 3625 reviews and 1921 protocols.
2. The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) : 9025 systemic reviews.
3. The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials :  550,000 studies.
4. The Health Technology Assessment Database : 7,528 health technology assessments.
5. The National Health Service (NHS) Economic Evaluation Database : 24,451 critical appraisals.

SIGN classification of grading Evidence: 

• 1++ High-quality meta-analyses, systematic reviews of RCTs, or RCTs with a very low risk of bias.
• 1+ Well-conducted meta-analyses, systematic reviews, or RCTs with a low risk of bias.
• 1– Meta-analyses, systematic reviews, or RCTs with a high risk of bias.
• 2++ High-quality systematic reviews of case-control or cohort studies High-quality case-control or cohort studies with a very low risk of confounding or bias and a high probability that the relationship is causal.
• 2+ Well-conducted case-control or cohort studies with a low risk of confounding or bias and a moderate probability that the relationship is causal.
• 2– Case-control or cohort studies with a high risk of confounding or bias and a significant risk that the relationship is not causal.
• 3 Non-analytic studies; for example, case reports, case series.
• 4 Expert opinion.

Views of Pharmacist: 

Being an active part of health care system every pharmacist strives to provide the best possible care for patients. However, it is not always possible to translate the current developments into clinical practice. Although pharmacotherapy can be beneficial in all the patients, it can also lead to drug-related problems (DRPs), including untreated indications, drug use without an indication, improper drug selection, subtherapeutic dosage, overdosage, medication error, medication nonadherence, drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, adverse drug withdrawal events, and therapeutic failure. Clinical pharmacy services have a positive impact on drug-related problems and health outcomes reducing the burden and improving the quality of life of patient through Evidence based practice.
